The Factories of the Future PPP and the FoF roadmap for Horizon 2020
Chris DecubberResearch Programme Manager, EFFRA
Who we are and what we do
The European Factories of the Future Research Association (EFFRA)• Non-profit and industry-driven European association
• In 2008/09: ‘Factories of the Future’ Public Private Partnership under the FP7 Research & Innovation programme
• EFFRA is the private partner for implementing the ‘Factories of the Future’ PPP
• Created by MANUFUTURE TP & industry associations
50 research priorities grouped in 4 areas:
• Sustainable manufacturing
• ICT enabled intelligent manufacturing
• High performance manufacturing
• Exploiting new materials through manufacturing
The Factories of the Future programme under FP7
Strategic Multi-Annual Roadmap
• ~€250 million of EU funding in 2010/11
• 25 projects up and running and 34 projects starting
• Success rate of up to 20%
• Industry participation: 50-60%
• Additional €400 million in 2012/13

manufacturing supply networks
RP4.1 – Cloud-based Manufacturing Business Web for Supply Network Collaboration
The Manufacturing Business Web (MBW) is envisioned as a cloud-based real-time and easy access middleware that will facilitate stakeholders in the Manufacturing 2.0 supply network to perform end-to-end manufacturing services encompassing domains of customer collaboration, collaborative service management, and collaborative manufacturing. It will be a manufacturing service delivery framework which at the same time is secure, robust, and interoperable.
RP4.2 – ICT-supported remanufacturing across the supply network
One of the key issues deterring the uptake of remanufacturing is the information gap which is created when products leave the OEM. The information gap is the result of the lack of data on product usage, repair, service, and refurbishment history. This, in turn, results in the fact that the input to the remanufacturing process is of unknown quality. The lack of reliable information for remanufacturing leads to missed opportunities with respect to increased economic or environmental impact.
RP4.3 – Leveraging mobility for an agile and intelligent supply network
Responsiveness of stakeholders within a supply network can be increased and new business opportunities could be availed if the right kind of data is made available to the decision makers at the right time “on-the-fly” and “on-the-go”. Next generation of computing research should avail the combined power of the internet and mobile devices to render data from shop floor, production systems, as well as disparate business systems across to supply network to human stakeholders in the supply network.
RP4.4 – Internet-of-Things in networked value chain
Manufacturing 2.0 enterprise assets and products of the future will leverage the concept of the "Internet of Things" where objects carry information about themselves, communicate with each other and the world around them. In order to harness the potential of connected objects and perform meaningful data analytics, future research should bridge the gap between different abstractions of objects operating at the shop floor level, business systems level, and at the level of supply networks.
RP4.5 – Complex Event Processing (CEP) for state detection and query processing in supply networks
Connected objects representing “Internet of Things” in supply chain networks will give rise to copious amount of data generated in the form of events. These events will be distributed in nature displaying the characteristics of non-determinism and asynchrony which will be a challenge for global state/predicate detection as well as discrete/continuous query processing. Future ICT research in Complex Event Processing (CEP) should devise solutions for detection of meaningful conditions in networks.
RP4.6 – Property Rights Management of products and code in supply networks
Although strict laws for Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) are a commonplace, enforcement seems to be an issue in the absence of well established ICT mechanisms for piracy detection and tracking. To counter the threat of piracy and counterfeiting of products, ICT research should apply and advance the latest advances made in Digital Rights Management (DRM) for music, video, photographic images, and software to products that are manufactured in Europe and the software code embedded therein.
RP4.7 – Multi-Enterprise Role-Based Access Control (mRBAC) in manufacturing supply networks
One of the greatest obstacles in the acceptance and adoption of cloud platforms in productive environments is the inability to manage and prevent threats originating from unauthorised access of enterprise data. For Manufacturing 2.0 enterprises of the future to effectively cooperate and collaborate in ecosystems comprising trusted as well as un-trusted vendors, it is important that the notion of RBAC be extended and successfully applied in the context of manufacturing supply networks.

• integration is key
• future size of Europe’s research PPPs should surpass competing initiatives (US, Japan, China, Korea)
• focus on demonstration and innovation requires additional financial investments
• measure the programme impact with market oriented and macro-economic indicators
